Happy Lunar New Year!!! i'm alittle late i know.. Here's wishing all a good Rat year ahead! :)

Whoo..! CNY had gone by a few days.. so fast.. alright shall have alittle update after some time.. Hehe..

Well i just came back from my co's reunion dinner for this lunar new year.. A chinese restaurant called "Lao Beijing", located @ Novena Sq. Hmm.. the food there was of course good. Yeah we had a very satisfying dinner. Linda sent Cindy and me back.. We were glad that there's more of such gathering now as compared to the past.. haha think either none or only during the Co's yearly trip which started 2 years ago. At least for now, we get to see one another occasionally. Hee.. :)

Da Nian Chu Yi (1st day):
Went to Ah ma's house.. As usual we are the first to arrive every year haa.. followed by my cousins + family and then Uncle Ah Yong + family.. then Gor Po's whole family. Had lunch cooked by uncle Ah Yong. Yummy braised duck and curry.. i love it! And the mixed veges.. had 2 servings haha.. Met up with Ame and JX after that at Tampines small Mac. Chit chat and had some drinks.. next to Haagen Daaz for ice-cream sharing! Mmm.. sinful ah.. haa.. Back to the Mac to look for Carol, from Sun Express, one of my Co's haulier. And it's going home time. :)

Think during CNY season we sort of let loose alittle on goodies and yummies ah.. keke.. must have put on some weight manz.. been eating since eve of CNY.. and till today still.. Sat going Lo Hei with Agnes, Yanyang, Bi, Ame, Pok and JX.. Sun will be another eating day againz.. Aiyo.. although there's a saying "can eat is fortunate" (loosely translated).. but to slim down again is not easy wor.. haha.. my colleagues are controlling too..

Da Nian Chu Er (2nd day):
Hmmm... nothing much basically been at home till evening time. Met up with Pok at Tampines interchange and together to Ame's house for dinner and Lo Hei. Hee.. my favourite Yu Sheng! Esp the one made by Ame's mum.. I love to eat that.. alittle sour & sweet.. We stayed till about 10+pm. Home. A rather simple day.

Da Nian Chu San (3rd day):
Out to NTUC to get the ingredients for steamboat. Friends coming over the next day. Evening.. met up with Bi, Lijun and Weihao @ East Coast Jumbo for our CNY dinner. Ordered Yu Sheng, chilli crab with deep fried buns, butter crab, Seabass with black bean sauce and a vege dish. Wow.. full. Haa.. Too bad only 4 of us turned up. After the meal.. stroll to Mac to meet up with Alex and Boon Hwee. To Shi Nai HK cafe for drinks.. left at about 10+pm.. Bi and Lijun went to catch the "Ah Long Pte Ltd" @ Tampines.. haha.. think Boon and Alex too with their friends. I went straight home as i had to wakey early next morning.. haha to prepare the steamboat and stuff lo..

Da Nian Chu Si (4th day):
Wakey at 7am.. bathe and started to prepare the soup base for steamboat as well as other side dishes. Lai reached my house around 9.30am.. much earlier then i expected. I'm still preparing though.. About 10+am, Yati arrived. Prepared some Bee Hoon (cooked by my mum), sambal prawns and chicken rolls for Yati & Lai.
Bi 12.30 while Jing about 1.45pm.. Steamboat started soon after that. All are small eaters haa.. Alright, Pok reached my house about 2.20pm followed by Ting and Quan. They had the steamboat too. Oh ya and all of them like the prawn wrapped with potato thingy i bought.. deep fried. After the main meal.. all had mango puddings.. Ame arrived about 4+pm. By 6.15.. all left.. Pok and me went to Bedok Princess to catch "Ah Long Pte Ltd".. haha in for a good laugh i would say. Esp Mark Lee's actions and the way he speaks.. Show ended at about 10pm.. and headed home, get ready to sleep EARLIER, next day working (today).

Hmm.. actually all along i have heard that our office probs was worse in the past.. compared now is far better. Glad that some colleagues managed to tide over those tougher times.. they even cried.. and it's because of our Boss that they decided to stay on.. Esp for Linda, Cindy and maybe Helen..
Time flies and for some it's been more than a decade. Things are changing all the time.. and of course we hope that it changes for the better or at least stay the way it is as now if good.. Things are unpredictable though. A step at a time ba.. :)

Hehe.. got 2 red packets from Linda and Hock Beng today! Keke.. Linda passed to me just now before i got off her red Hyundai haa.. while Hock Beng early in the morning haha.. Thanks..

Yup.. that's about all! Short updates. Off.. sleepy and tired.. byeez.. :)
